Coming to PlayStation Plus: Discounts on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Modern Combat: Domination

While everyone was away enjoying the holidays (and hopefully some new gaming gifts), we were working hard to ensure that the momentum keeps rolling with PlayStation Plus. With that said, let’s jump into some of the new content that will be coming to PlayStation Plus on January 18.

Kicking off the PlayStation Plus update on January 18 are discounts on two PlayStation Network titles, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Modern Combat: Domination. Play as Scott Pilgrim as he fights his way through Ramona’s evil exes in what Spike called the Best Adapted Video Game (Note: This 50% off discount is available for one week only). We are also offering a 25% off day one discount on Gameloft’s upcoming shooter, Modern Combat: Domination. Jump into Modern Combat: Domination with the PlayStation Move and experience total immersion into a modern war experience.

Along with both those discounts, we are also offering a 25% off day one discount on new DLC for Ubisoft’s real time strategy title, R.U.S.E., and a free download of Hero of Sparta, a popular PlayStation mini from Gameloft. More free themes and an exclusive Mega Man 10 avatar bundle also round out our next update.

This week is an especially good time to join PlayStation Plus as we are offering over $60 in free items, including downloads of Sam & Max, Lead & Gold, Crash Team Racing, Spyro the Dragon, and more. Along with these titles, we are still offering our free three-month offer for subscribers who purchase a year of PlayStation Plus. Also, look for PlayStation Plus subscription cards at major retailers, including Best Buy, Wal-Mart, GameStop and Target.

As always, check out the list below for items that are expiring from PlayStation Plus. There are several items coming down, so be sure to download them before it’s too late.

Here are the highlights for the update coming to PlayStation Plus subscribers on January 18:

PS PLUS is NEVER going to see a DIME FROM ME..until they make the offers PERMANENTLY keep the and have CROSS OVER VOICE CHAT..and good discounts on a movie or even a free movie rental a month >:p The PS PLUS just isnt convincing enough for me..until then i will just stick to being patient and wait for SOME of the psn game prices to drop(ROCKET KNIGHT)and for the games to be released :p THANKS but NO THANKS SONY :p

See, I WOULD sign up for PSPlus… except the stupid PSN won’t let me add funds to my wallet! Got a 20$ PSN card for Christmas and since the 26th, I haven’t been able to add it. Soo mad.. especially since I want both those discounts (Modern Combat has Move support and looks pretty cool, and Scott Pilgrim is… well… Scott Pilgrim lol)

@7 – U and Gametrailers obviously don’t know what your talking about. I got it during the 1st few weeks and couldn’t be more satisfied. It’s paid for itself many times over. Not sure if you know how to read, but there was $60 of content up right now.

@10 – How many games do you really play for longer than a year? Losing them isn’t that bad, but can easily be avoided by keeping your sub. X-game chat, eh, I get it, don’t care for it myself. Rocket Knight? Really? You are waiting for ps+ for that?

$60 of content to whom? The actual publishers who dictate what MSRP to set for their product at?

You don’t own anything Sony is letting you borrow for free, therefore, you paid $50 to sign up for a rental service. I hope you enjoy continuing to pay $50 every single year in order to to stay eligible in order to keep your access to this “$60″ of content you were lent.

Sweet, I almost caved and bought Scott Pilgrim a few days ago… now I’m glad I waited.

And before anybody says anything to the contrary, yes I will get to keep the game in the unlikely chance that I don’t renew PSN+ because it’ll be a purchased game rather than a free one. Not that it matters, since I’ve been quite pleased with service since signing up for it on day 1.

Actually you do keep DLC. Plus by your logic if you stay for 2 years, you keep accumulating stuff for every month! So for the price of $100 for 2+ years so you access to well over $1,000 worth of goodies. And if you reply “but you dont keep them after 2 years!!!”

Well who cares? Do you play games such as Lead and Gold after 2 years of enjoyments? I sure dont.

@nycfreewill82
Seriously dude, have you EVER posted a positive comment on this blog? Every comment I’ve seen you leave has usually been negative…I’m surprised you still have a PS3…

@I3rand0
You’re going to listen to gametrailers.com? A pro-360 site? Really? PS+ isn’t a mandatory service, its optional to get games for a discounted price, DLC for free/discounted prices and free to play games during the duration of your subscription. Plus I’ve gotten access to private betas which in my opinion is sweet. I’ve easily gotten my money’s worth from PS+.

Also i wanted to add (although it may be the right place, but it is a PS+ type of question)

Are (US) PS+ member ever going to get some Playstation Home type of PS+ content? i know Europe got these wonderful shirts/hats, and i was wondering if the US Ps+ member will be getting that also? or something like that?

This is one factor of why i still havent gotten Ps+ yet. i would love to see psp and playstation home content with all of these.

Quote.”We were working hard to ensure that the momentum keeps rolling with PlayStation Plus”End Quote.

Really? So where is the PS Plus Home content 100’s are asking for? I get the impression you guys care more about getting new subscribers than keeping the faithful ones you have.
I do not understand this “stringing us along”.
Becoming a disappointed subscriber.
Its ok..Dont worry bout it..Im just nobody..

More avatars I have to pay for even though they are dirt cheap to produce. But I won’t because they are for such a niche game that most don’t want them. More themes nobody wants (Argyle girls, seriously?). No game trial. No Qore. Only one noteworthy discount, unless you consider getting two bucks off a shooter that could end up being terrible.

Watch out for the Scott Pilgrim DLC (not the game, but the Knives Chau add-on pack). The trophies don’t sync, the games been out for a couple months and Sony/Ubisoft/whoever hasn’t done anything about it. So if you get a trophy in the DLC, your Playstation will try to sync the trophy every time you want to view your trophies, but it never succeeds.
